@zge@icosahedron.website if you look at the dynamics of power in history it's personal motives all the way from Babylon to the war in Syria that's still raging. Profit, power, hegemony. These are the three drivers of all actions ever undertaken by the so called elites.
If it seems like this is too simple, it's because we're still blinded by the "higher motives" power used to shroud itself into for millennia to hide its true nature to people's eyes, that's all.
